Here is the my current setup! The 130SLT OTA has a bit of a story behind it, I bought it off of a user called ChiefDreamer, who I believe got it off Richard (rmuhlack). I only noticed it when searching through astrobin for images and I came across the scope, when I saw what he had done with this little tube, I knew I had to get it! EDIT As it just so happens, after some forum searching detective work, I have traced the OTA back to multiweb in 2009! This is one well traveled OTA that has seen a LOT of light over the years!
Bonus image of me being overexcited whilst imaging the Tarantula Nebula!

Thanks Andrew. I sold the first TSA120 and repurchased so this one should stay - it'll be used for visual and imaging. I've just received an ES 0.7x reducer to try with it too.
Here is my brand spanking new ASA DDM60 mount!! Picked it up yesterday, kinda played with it last night but set it up in the lounge room this afternoon.
As it is my purely imaging mount I figured I'd mount my DL (visual scope) on top as it is likely to be the one and only time it's riding on it. Had to put on a 2" diagonal, 7x50 finder and 35mm Pan just to get it to be able to balance in RA hehe Going to be less of an issue once I get my 130mm astrograph on there, considerably heavier.
Sorry to everyone in Melbourne for the shocking weather that is going to follow.
The new mount looks great and the Berlebach tripod looks very solid too!
They probably don't have any money left after buying the Tak scope
I already owned the FT before buying the TSA, but the adapter still cost $280 new.
This is why you need to consider buying a current model Televue instead as they have subcontracted the construction of all their new 10:1 focusers to Starlight and thus FT focusers are now standard kit on their refractors
TOA came back home this week after being out on loan.....
The AZ-EQ6-GT counterweights turned green with Tak-envy.....
(I'll have to be careful that the whole mount doesn't get a colour change as well........ )
Wouldn't it be nice if Takahashi reverse-engineered the AZ-EQ6 ...
" Take 2 Taks and go to bed"
but not kidding about it being clear out there.
